5-(3-Hydroxyphenyl)-gamma-Valerolactone (3-OH-PVL) is a major phenolic catabolite produced from the fermentation of flavan-3-ols (such as catechin and epicatechin) by the gut microbiota. The compound serves as a key biomarker for investigating the biotransformation pathways and stoichiometry of dietary polyphenols within the colon, enabling the assessment of bioavailability and the potential health contributions of flavan-3-ols with varying degrees of polymerization through monitoring its production levels.
